change spacing to two instead of four with pep8 or flake8?
by Dennis June 29, 2019

June 29, 2019

Hi, In Pylint you can change the spacing multiplier from 4 spaces to two in its pylintrc, but for the life of me I cannot find a way to do this with the flake8 / pep8 utilities. I want to avoid ignoring E111 altogether if at all possible, because it may catch other spacing problems that are not as obvious. hacky/non-hacky solutions welcome of course. If this is too specific and I should go to the pep8/flake8 MLs that is welcome advice too. Thanks, Dennis

embedding python - PyImport_ImportModule returns null
by jkpangtang＠yahoo.com March 28, 2019

March 28, 2019

I am trying to embed python within a c program, but I can't get PyImport_ImportModule() command to load my module. Please let me know what I'm doing wrong. -- #file func.py def func1(): print "inside func1()" -- //main.c int main() { PyObject *pFunc, *pModule; Py_Initialize(); pModule=PyImport_ImportModule("func"); //fileread.py if(pModule==NULL) { PyErr_Print(); fprintf(stderr,"Failed to load \"%s\"\n","func"); } //etc.... } --- Both main.c and func.py are in the same directory. I run main and get the error Failed to load "func", meaning that PyImport_ImportModule returns NULL. What am i doing wrong? Thanks in advance for the help

If you want to have \n mean a newline in your config file, you can do the conversion after you read the value: >>> "a\\nb".decode("string-escape") 'a\nb' --Ned.

Python Interview Questions
by Krypto Jan. 10, 2019

Jan. 10, 2019

Hi, I have used Python for a couple of projects last year and I found it extremely useful. I could write two middle size projects in 2-3 months (part time). Right now I am a bit rusty and trying to catch up again with Python. I am now appearing for Job Interviews these days and I am wondering if anybody of you appeared for a Python Interview. Can you please share the questions you were asked. That will be great help to me. Thanks,

How to use multiple instances of the same COM object at the same time
by Jan Dec. 18, 2018

Dec. 18, 2018

Dear Usenet readers, Our company wants to implement about 40 biometric access control devices which have a proprietary DLL with a COM object in it. I've done some research about COM objects and how to use them. Now, I need to connect to every device separately and register for real time events. So, I need about 40 instances of the COM object simultaneously connected and registered to catch all events of all devices. I assumed I needed threading for this, and I have done a simple implementation. All I want to ask is: Does anybody see something that I could have done in a better way? I'm new to COM objects in Python! The program runs fine, it is very basic and I tested it with 3 devices connected at the same time. In production this will be 40! Thanks in advance Jan Source code: # Based on eventappartmentthreading from the win32com demo import sys, os, time import win32com.client import win32api import win32event # sys.coinit_flags not set, so pythoncom initializes apartment-threaded. import pythoncom from threading import Thread threadlist = dict() # this stores the device ids # using the threadid as the key field class ZkEvents: def __init__(self): self.event = win32event.CreateEvent(None, 0, 0, None) thread = win32api.GetCurrentThreadId() print "thread %s " % thread self.dev_id = threadlist[thread] print "Thread Connected For ID %s " % self.dev_id def OnFinger(self): print self.dev_id, print "OnFinger" def OnVerify(self, iUserID=pythoncom.Empty): print self.dev_id, print "OnVerify: %s" % iUserID def OnKeyPress(self, iKey=pythoncom.Empty): print self.dev_id, print "KeyPress: %s" % iKey def WaitWhileProcessingMessages(event, timeout = 60): start = time.clock() while True: # Wake 4 times a second - we can't just specify the # full timeout here, as then it would reset for every # message we process. rc = win32event.MsgWaitForMultipleObjects( (event,), 0, 250, win32event.QS_ALLEVENTS) if rc == win32event.WAIT_OBJECT_0: # event signalled - stop now! return True if (time.clock() - start) > timeout: # Timeout expired. return False # must be a message. pythoncom.PumpWaitingMessages() def TestZkEvents(ip, dev_id): thread = win32api.GetCurrentThreadId() print 'TestZkEvents created ZK object on thread %d'%thread threadlist[thread] = dev_id pythoncom.CoInitialize() zk = win32com.client.DispatchWithEvents("zkemkeeper.ZKEM", ZkEvents) if zk.Connect_Net(ip, 4370): print "Connect %s OK" % ip else: print "Connect %s Failed" % ip try: if zk.RegEvent(1, 65535): # 65535 = register for all events print "RegEvent %s, %s OK" % (ip, dev_id) else: print "RegEvent %s, %s Failed" % (ip, dev_id) except pythoncom.com_error, details: print "Warning - could not open the test HTML file", details # Wait for the event to be signaled while pumping messages. while True: if not WaitWhileProcessingMessages(zk.event): print "No Events From %s During Last Minute" % dev_id zk = None if __name__=='__main__': # this should be a for loop with database fields... t1 = Thread(target=TestZkEvents, args=('192.168.1.211',40)) t1.start() t2 = Thread(target=TestZkEvents, args=('192.168.1.212',45)) t2.start() t3 = Thread(target=TestZkEvents, args=('192.168.1.213',49)) t3.start()

SWIG+Distutils - no harmony?
by m.bless＠gmx.de July 7, 2018

July 7, 2018

Getting courageous I try building 'example.pyd' from the SWIG 'Simple Example' using SWIG and the Distutils. Looks promising but doesn't succeed. I didn't modify 'example.c' and 'example.i'. Problems/questions: (1) Is 'setup.py' ok? (2) BEWARE: What's really shocking: After see (unsuccessful) python setup.py build -cmingw32 the original 'example.c' is GONE AND AWAY - replaced by the wrapper. (3) What's going wrong?
